2In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in bananas and vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about a third at a time, and milk, about half at a time, beating just until blended.

3Fill each cup with about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon batter or until about two-thirds full. (Cover and refrigerate remaining batter until ready to bake; cool pan 15 minutes before reusing.)

4Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove cupcakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter to make an additional 48 mini cupcakes.

5To assemble, remove paper baking cups from cupcakes. Arrange 3 cupcakes in each serving dish; place small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of or next to first cupcake, chocolate ice cream on second cupcake and strawberry ice cream on third cupcake. Top vanilla ice cream with 1 tablespoon pineapple topping, top chocolate ice cream with 1 tablespoon chocolate topping and top strawberry ice cream with 1 tablespoon strawberry topping. Sprinkle each serving with about 2 teaspoons pecans. Garnish with whipped cream and a cherry.
